Job Description
Full job description My client is a London based contractor maintaining and repairing facades, windows, doors, curtain walling and fire doors in existing, occupied buildings for managing agents, developers and Tier 1 contractors. We are looking for a Project Manager to run our maintenance and repair works day to day alongside the directors. The role This is a maintenance and aftercare role on aluminium window, door and curtain wall systems, not a new build installation role. Most of our work is planned maintenance, reactive repairs and remedial works on buildings that are already lived in or in use, so you need to know how specific systems are built, how they fail and how to put them right with residents and building managers around you. It is a hybrid role with around three days a week on site and the rest in the office or working from home. Every day brings a different site and building, with PPM visits, reactive repairs and emergency call outs, so you need to be flexible and stay calm when plans change. Systems you must know We work every week on Schüco, Reynaers, Kawneer and Cortizo systems, along with Smart, AluK, Senior, Technal and Metal Technology. You need proven hands on maintenance or repair experience on at least two of these manufacturers, and you must be able to name the system series you have worked on, for example Schüco AWS 75 or ADS 70, Reynaers CS 77 or CP 155, Kawneer AA 100 or AA 541, or Cortizo COR 70 or 4200. You should be able to identify a system on site from its profiles and hardware, order the correct gaskets, seals, hinges, locks, handles, rollers and espagnolettes, and adjust or replace them without the manufacturer on site. If you only know it as a window, this role is not for you. What you will be doing Surveying defects on existing facades, windows and doors, identifying the system, finding the cause and reporting clearly on the repair needed. Running planned maintenance (PPM) contracts and reactive repair pr
